Hi everyone, Thank you for all the feedback. Here is what I found out: * IB offers their institutional interface based on FIX. Mininum commision of $2400/mo plus a dedicated link required. Of everyone I spoke to IB was by far the most responsive and helpful. I'll have to see if my trading...

I am looking for a broker that provides an order entry API. I would like my software to place buy and sell orders automatically. MyTrack appears to offer such capability through their SDK, but given their fairly high commisions, I'd like to see if I can find another broker. eSignal appears...

I've used eSignal, Quote.com (Qcharts/Qfeed), AT Financial and CyberCorp. eSignal is by far the most reliable. I have had real-time data since 1996 and eSignal continues to be the only reliable choice I've found.

In my experience you're often better of taking the slightly worse price on ISLD. You might want to try ARCA as a 2nd, but I've always just preferenced whatever MM looked to have real volume. Often the MM will hold your order since they have the same LII view you do, so you'll end up waiting on...

A good link for details on many technical indicators: http://www.equis.com/free/taaz/ Just search for ATR or look in the reference section. Here are the details re ATR: The True Range indicator is the greatest of the following: The distance from today's high to today's low. The...

4jays: the only real complaint is that the $59/mo price only includes 50 symbols and limited historical intra-day data. If you want up to 500 symbols and futures it's $130 plus exchange fees (which I consider expensive). You also have to pay $50/mo for Level II to DBC unless you prepay annually...

For realtime streaming qutoes on stocks and commodities I have found eSignal to be the most reliable. I have tried Quote.com, which constantly has outages, delayed data, servers down etc - not recommended. Back in 1996/98 I used AT Financial (Major Attitude) and found that unreliable as...

I have no experience with TradeScape! That being said ... you should not focus on the automatic routing if you're day-trading. If you're trading nasdaq you will have to route yourself; it simply takes too long with all the timeouts of SOES, Selectnet etc. to rely on any automated procedure...

I have a Matrox G400 dual head. I love it. I have two monitors (21" sony and 15" LCD). My desktop is 2560x1024 - spanning two monitors. The only issue I have with the Matrox G400 is that under Windows 2000 both monitors must run in the same resolution. Supposedly this is not the case with...

CyberTrader Stops: I have found CyberTraders stops to be unreliable. Sometimes they work, sometimes times they don't even though the stop criteria were met. There seemed to be most problems with trailing stops. I documented a few instances and communicated with Cyber, but no resolution was...

Re level II Interpretation: Level II has turned into a poker game. Just two to three years ago you could assertain momentum from Level II and actually trade off of it. Now, I find that most of the large prints are "fake" and used by market makers to shake out smaller traders - like me :)...
